Sleeping Like a Baby, and Crying Like One Too (Day 14)

My baby is so sweet. Just look at her sleeping peacefully. I have this new tirck that minimizes her crying while she is crying it out. I put her down on her back with a pacifier in her mouth and a pacifier in her hand. She then cries and switches pacifiers, which distracts her and then she quiets down and sleeps. It's super cute seeing her switch pacifiers.

And speaking of crying, today was Kate's first dentist appointment. I blogged and showed pictures of Hannah sitting in the dentist chair when it was her first appointment, but with Kate's whimpers and tears I thought it would be just mean to take pictures. Instead I sat beside her, holding her hand and encouraging her to open up. When it was all done she was given goodies and things, and she walked out very relieved to be done.

On the car ride home I said, "Wow, that was a fun time at the dentist. We got our teeth cleaned and some fun prizes." And Kate very acutely responded, "I don't like it so much. Hey, you didn't get your teeth cleaned!" Touche!

But, to be fair, I had an appointment today and had to cancel it because childcare fell through, and trying to take care of three kids and have my teeth cleaned seemed a little too much for me to handle. I am going to reschedule. Really. Soon. Let's just say the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree in this case...
